In the aftermath of recent troublesome events, I've been reminded that I was going to ask this of all of you.

How many of you have abilities, whether natural, supernatural, or recently acquired, that can be used to track someone? Furthermore, if you're willing to explain it to me, can you tell me how those abilities work?

After all, if someone else goes missing, it's best if we all know who can help us find them, and don't waste time and energy.

『 Text 』 From Toyotama-hime

[seasung]

This has made me think.

I could probably do 'something' like this, but the method... It would make me feel gross. So I don't want to.

[reformedsinner]

Well, that's an interesting statement!

I wouldn't push, of course, but what kind of method are you thinking of?

[seasung]

Hmmmm. Talking about it feels like too much 'work'.

But in any case, if you are trying to keep track of people or 'suspicious happenings' here on 'this side' of the shore, you should just ask the fishys for help.

[reformedsinner]

I certainly wouldn't want to ask you to work.

Which "fishys" are those?

[The koi? They have spoken, on occasion....]

[seasung]

Our colorful 'koi friends', of course. I am sure they are feeling 'betrayed' right now....

Those fireflies gravitated towards the canals and waterways, so they surely spent a lot of 'time' together.

[reformedsinner]

[Ah. Emphasis quotes.]

That's certainly possible. I'll have to try a chat, won't I?

Although I'm not convinced they were the same fireflies in the forests and around the canals.

[seasung]

Oh? I do not speak 'firefly', so when it comes to their side of the 'story', your guess is as good as mine.

Jellyfish are not 'really' fish, you know. Unlike fish, they have no 'brains'. Perhaps the angry fireflies are the same. Perhaps they were never really fireflies to begin with. 🐟

[reformedsinner]

Do I understand correctly, in that case, that you do speak fish?

[seasung]

My friends and I 'understand' each other just fine. Because the 'sea' is home~

Are you interested in sea life, Iron Crutch? Or are you just being 'polite' and 'humoring' me? Well. Either way, I can tell you are a good person now~

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, to be honest, I'm just trying to understand what you're saying!

After all, the koi have been known to speak Japanese, and they aren't precisely sea life.

[seasung]

Anything that loves the water is a part of 'my' sea. But... yes. You are correct. On 'normal' terms, it is not that way.

Those koi may be pond fish, but if you talk to them, they are the ones most 'willing' to talk back. Are you any good at haiku? You could impress them...

[reformedsinner]

Oh, I'm afraid I'm absolutely terrible at haiku.

I've found myself chatting with the koi a time or two, however.
